Dhaka -- A man was killed in ‘gunfight’ with police at Baisteki in in the city's Mirpur area on Sunday night.
The RAB had the night off it appears... | The deceased was identified as Abdus Salam, 30, son of late Ismail Sheikh of Durgapur under Pirojpur Sadar thana in Pirojpur district.
No ferocious nickname, but then this was a local affair... | Police officials said acting on a tip-off,
Not from Mahmoud the Weasel, but a local do-gooder who needed a Tk of crore or two... | a special police team led by Assistant Commissioner (Pallabi Zone) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Jakir Hossain
Jakir, bucking for a promotion to RAB-8... | conducted a drive at Ali Hossain Road of Baishteki in Mirpur section-13
Good luck finding that one on a map even if you have the help of the lavender mod... |
It's periwinkle, actually, a different kind of flower. | around 10:00 pm.
Early but perhaps the police officers are married with children and needed to get home... | Sensing presence of the police members,
"Hark! My spider-sense tingles!" | a criminal gang shot gunfire at them,
"Time for aimless fire, boys!" | forcing the law enforcers to retaliate
Of course they did, they couldn't help themselves... | which triggered a gunfight,
Lots of bullets were fired leaving no marks on anything... | leaving Salam, a member of the criminal gang, critically injured.
"Aiiieee! I am just about undone!" | Other members of the criminal group fled from the scene.
As if they were never there, of course... | Police also recovered one firearm from the spot.
Not a shutter gun, no sir, for that you need to engage the RAB... | Injured Salam was taken to a nearby hospital,
Definitely not a place to go for anything other than a toothache... | and later shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH)
Not a level 1 trauma center but that didn't matter... | where doctors declared him dead at about 1.00 am, said sub-inspector Sentu Das of DMCH police camp.
"Hey Doc, what's taking so long? Call it already!" |
